Desert Sting has won five times between the flags but has yet to make much impression under Rules. Code Of Law has been runner-up in four of his five chase starts and unseated his rider in the other when odds-on. He’s proving expensive to follow but has better form than most of these. Brice Canyon has also proved difficult to place and is now 0-12 under Rules while Arctic Lady continues to disappoint. CITRUS is a bit of a character but the type to respond to
